Week of January 13, 2014: Boat Show Season is Here!
Christmas and New Years are behind us and the next big event is Boat Show Season. The Lexington Sport, Boat, and Recreation Show is February 6-9. There is no better sign that spring is coming than the boat show. So come down and walk the isles and get all of the boat brochures that you can put in one plastic bag. Pick out this summers new boat and know that spring will be here soon.
See you at the show,
Ralph

Week of December 15, 2013: Merry Christmas to All...
Merry Christmas to all friends and families. We hope everyone has a chance to look back on the year and remember all the good times. We have ups and downs, but the times on the lake are some of the best. Whether you were catching a big one or just getting away for the day, take time to reflect on those great lake memories. Christmas is a gift to all of us and we have a lot to be thankful for, like this great country that we all live in.
Here's to a wonderful 2014!
Merry Christmas and Good Boating,
Ralph and the Crew

Week of November 10, 2013: Best Boating & Fishing
I recently read an article talking about the anticipation of the
seasonal boater. What does this mean? If you live in a climate warm
enough to boat year around, you cannot understand how depressing it is
to see your boat sitting in storage all covered up and winterized without
the possibility of using it until Spring! While being able to boat year
round in the Southern climates is a definite benefit, most of those
areas would most likely give up a couple of months a year to have the
beautiful freshwater lakes available we sometimes take for granted.
You
see, Kentucky and Tennessee have more lakes per capita than any other
states in this region. We have thousands of miles of shoreline to enjoy
as well as camping & picnicking with access by boat only. Sitting on
the back of your boat with family and friends and watching the sunset is
one of the greatest memories I have ever experienced.
We
also enjoy some of the best fishing in the world. Many record bass,
crappie, muskie and multiple other species are abundant in our lakes as
well. Speaking of sunsets, how about the sun rising out of the fog while
trolling your favorite bank fighting that small-mouth you know will be
worthy of a wall mount. Keep those memories alive and get together with
your boating friends over the holidays and talk about the great times
you had this summer and the ones yet to come in 2014.
Looking
for a gift for the holidays? We have a full stock of boating
accessories available year round! Don’t know what to buy your favorite
captain? How about a Stokley’s Marine Gift Card! We have them available
in any amount you desire. Come and see us as well. We always enjoy
seeing everyone in the Stokley’s Marine boating family no matter what
the temperature is!

Week of October 20, 2013: Winterizing
Well, as much as I hate to see it, the weather forecast
is predicting freezing temps. This means
that it's time to winterize your boat.
There are a few simple tasks to perform to keep your boat healthy during
cold winter months so that it's ready for the next season of boating. You will need to change both the motor oil
and the lower unit oil.
Your boat will also need a dehumidifier, such as NO
DAMP, to help prevent mold and mildew. You'll find this at our store for less than $10.00.
Also remember to make sure your boat is clean
and dry before you cover it.
Call or visit Stokley's Marine for any/all of your boating needs.
Also, come see us Feb. 6 - 9, 2014 at the Lexington Boat Show, and remember, boating
season will be back before you know it!
